Viewed 12103

I search on Google about "Visual Studio 2019 Watch Window". It tells me that open the Watch Window by the menu sequence Debug > Windows > Watch. However there is no an Watch item in the Windows menu. Can anybody tell me how to open the Watch window?

button becomes visible when in debug mode, debug> window> watch

Add a breakpoint in your code, and then click "start debugging(F5)". Then Select DEBUG -> Windows -> Watch

Have you already started debugging? The watch window option is only visible under DEBUG -> Windows during debugging (debugger must be running or in break mode).
